StepChange Debt Charity Opiniones 2322

Stepchange was the best financial Debt company I came across, the team where so helpful and helped me for many years so grateful to them I am finally on my last payment and will be Debt free can't thank them enough.

Extremely disappointed with StepChange not only do I keep getting the same emails saying the same thing I have been misled into thinking they are setting up a DMP. To me this is not being looked at and no one really cares. They have everything they need now and can’t seem to be able to set it up. I have made a complaint but even that has gone nowhere. Will have to look at forwarding this to the CEO’s soon failing that the financial ombudsman.

Found StepChange to be really helpful, approachable and non-judgmental throughout my 10 year + Debt Management Plan.

I would highly recommend contacting them if struggling to manage your finances

They were so great with me and helped me along the way to get out of debt when I lost my job. I spoke to a few customer service over the years and they were always helpful. Thank you@

Stepchange changed my life, I was at rock bottom with nowhere to turn until I spoke to them. They gave me great advice and helped me every step of the way to create my plan.
10 years ago I was drowning in debt, I'm now about to make my last payment and be debt free, it's the best feeling ever.

Wonderful help, covid hit and I was stuck, they helped. I have got back on my feet and continued to up my payments and now out of debt. Easy to do and they are ready to help.

Super helpful and understanding I never felt ashamed talking to them. We are paying our last payment this month. Thank you to the team there!

Excellent team, very understanding and helpful, all the stress is taken off your shoulders allowing you to carry on without worrying, and get to your goal, highly recommended thank you to all the team for your support.

I was sinking fast and then I got my big girl pants on and contacted StepChange they talked through a debt plan that was affordable for me and I make my last payment on May 1st. They are with you every step of the way, and always have an answer ready to elliviate stress. Would be in court without them.I just wish I could give more stars!!

Started stepchange years ago because of debt i could not manage anymore. So glad I found them they took all the responsibility and stress from dealing with it to one manageable affordable payment per month. Now I only have one payment left to pay and im finally debt free. Its taught me to buy it only if not I cant have it or save for it. Highly recommend stepchange if you need help with debt.

Very helpful once sorted I could actually sleep at night. I'm glad I went through step change

I had a very positive experience with StepChange. Everyone I spoke to was kind, patient and understanding. I was going through a very difficult time, and they made me feel listened to and supported without judgment. Their help and friendly approach made things feel much less overwhelming. I’m really grateful for the support I received.

Signed up for your help back in November last year and I have been messaging you at least once a week to ask for an update. I keep getting the same email back asking to send you documents to go ahead with the TTP. Sent you everything you asked for and I have responded multiple times and NO ONE IS ANSWERING ME.

I keep getting the same generic email and text saying : We can't go ahead with your token payment plan (TPP) until you send us your info.

Utterly frustrating especially when the creditors are on your back!!!!

So disappointed with your service thus far.

I have been in debt for over 16 years since i divorced my ex. It was a substantial amount, and one is struggled to pay. Finally during lockdown and took the plunge to do something about it. Enter step change, they made it very easy for me in arranging an affordable monthly payment over 6 years(this reviewed every year). Step-Change are a charity so take minimal fees, and don't rip you off like many scammers out there. Taken advantage of people with debt.
Halfway through this i was asked for an amount i couldn't afford, at the time i was told that's the amount take it or leave it. It went up £60 a month quite significant for me, so i contacted the Ceo of the company at the time. Enter Romina (main manageress i think), wow what a breath of fresh air this wonderful woman is. She personally handled my case for the last 3 years, she was so friendly on the phone and couldn't of done anything more of me if she tried. She is a real credit to step change, she made me feel at ease all the way through those last 3 years. I will be forever grateful to her and step change for saving my life.
Today i now debt free, and when i got my final letter to tell me it was complete i felt overwhelmed with pride that i had done this . So my advice, don't hesitate get in touch with step change today and save your debt hell.

I was made to feel I wasn't alone & made to feel it was possible to complete no matter how long it has taken. I am now confident in sort out my money, putting enough to onesie for my outgoings & leaving enough to money to use on other things.

StepChange pushed me to the edge when I needed help the most
I am extremely disappointed with the way I was treated by .
When I reached out to them, I was already in a very vulnerable position. For over 6 months, I had been stuck in a cycle of earning money just to pay credit cards. I had no savings, I owed money to family and friends, and I had lost my job due to a spinal injury. My mental health had deteriorated to the point where I needed support from my GP.
I contacted StepChange because I genuinely needed help and guidance.
Instead, I felt judged.
During my call, the advisor went through my income and expenditure and questioned my weekly medication costs. I explained clearly that this was for legal medical cannabis, prescribed for my depression and spinal injury. After that, her attitude noticeably changed.
Her tone became cold and dismissive.
I was made to feel like I was doing something wrong, rather than being someone in genuine need of support. I was effectively told that if I could afford my medication, then I should be able to pay my credit cards too.
That was extremely upsetting and showed a lack of understanding of my situation.
Despite clearly explaining that my income was lower than my outgoings, and that I was struggling to get by week to week, I was told that I did not qualify for a DRO.
Instead of offering meaningful support, StepChange sent me an income and expenditure sheet and advised me to contact my creditors myself to “see if they could help”.
In reality, that left me trying to deal with everything alone while already overwhelmed.
Following their advice, I contacted my creditors—but nothing sustainable came from it. After a short breathing space, I was back to facing unaffordable payments and increasing pressure.
That ‘advice’ pushed me dangerously close to the edge mentally. I was already in a fragile state, and the lack of proper support from StepChange made things significantly worse.
Thankfully, I later contacted .
The difference was immediate.
In just one phone call, they listened, understood my situation, and confirmed that I did qualify for a DRO—something StepChange had told me I wasn’t eligible for.
They started the process straight away, and my DRO has now been approved.
Because of that, I can finally start rebuilding my life, manage my finances properly, and live without constant stress.
Based on my experience, I found StepChange to be dismissive and unhelpful at a time when I needed clear and supportive advice.
If you are struggling with debt, I would strongly recommend getting a second opinion. For me, speaking to Money Wellness made all the difference.

Stepchange helped me get debt free in a manageable and realistic manner. No pressure, no hassle and they were there for support whenever needed. I would 100% recommend

The best company support really the people, bless you guys

Very helpful
